Fieldbus Topology with RS485 (PROFIBUS DP)
Bus length and speed
When a PROFIBUS network is installed, boundary conditions of the RS485 transfer
technology must be observed. The electrical network uses a shielded, twisted pair
cable. All subscribers are connected in a line-shaped bus. The transmission rate can
be adjusted in steps from 9.6 kbit/s to 1.5 Mbit/s. For extremely time-critical
PROFIBUS-DP applications, additional transmission rates of 3, 6 and 12 Mbit/s are
possible.The maximum segment length depends on the transmission rate.
